A review by joshknape
Doctor Who: Engines of War by George Mann
2.0
Unlike the old New Adventures series novels I used to read, this book is written in a young-adult style. It's also not particularly imaginative in either its ideas of what the Time War is like or its characterization of the War Doctor. As other reviewers note, the War Doctor is not particularly different from other versions of the Doctor. The Eleventh Doctor could have been him. This is a mistake, because he's not supposed to be like other Doctors--he's a warrior. He's generally uninteresting.
To boot, this author can't quite resist injecting his sociopolitical views into the story at least once.
Not recommended.
